The Dedication Of the Monument Erected By the
New York Press Club Yesterday-A Class
OF Men Whose Names Are Seldom ldsnll-
fed With Their Important LaOors.

New YORK, June 12.-The dedication
of the monument erected by. the New York
Press Club, at Cypress Hills Cemetery,
took place this afternoon. The prepara-
tiOns had been carefully made and were
carried out without hitch. After the open
ing exercises, music and prayer, and few
remarks by the officers of the Press Club,
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew delivered the
oration OF the day. He spoke of the change
in the relations Of individuals brought
about by the great advances of the age,
and the Capitalization of industry in large
cities, and said that it was most necessary
that organizations should see to
it that the poor of their
craft has a suitable place tor

corps in the highest terms rs the body that
had furnished the most powerful influence
of modern thought. From it have come
not only the editors but the contributors
to our literature whose names are immor-
tai. The reporter, with no incentive but
his duty, OutdOeS the soldier, and tele-
graphs to his paper IN account that cleo
triies the world, bat bears no signatures.
Ii was only in exceptional cases that the
newspaper man received his dues.
There were times in the live of Greedy
and Raymond, when they would have
filled nameleSS graves if they
had died. Though the casual reader sees
in the daily journals only an impersOnal
expression of popular feeling, the Press
Club monument will serve to make them
think more Of the men behind the papers.
IN address was also delivered by the
Rev. T.. Dewitt Talmage. DR.. Talmage
believed that there were means of cOmmu-
nication between this world and the next,
aud that the newspaper men who had
gone before has heard with pleasure
ot this gathering on Cypress Hills.

tion OF a cent in the price OF their morning

THE LUTHERANS.
The Latest Work of the synod-The Con-
vention AdjOurns To-day.


ventiOn AdjOurns To-day.
OMAHA, NEB., June 12.-In the conven-
tion of the General Lutheran Synod to-
day, J. A. Clutz, s. B. Barnitz and H. L.
Baugher were appointed a committee to
abridge the Book of Worship to eighty
pages. The report of the committee on the
letter of the bishops of the Protestant EPis
copal Church on Christian unity was con-
sidered. This report was prepared in a
very short time, as the letter was not
placed in the hands OF
the President of the Synod
until late in it's session. The following
abstract of the report was prepared by the
author. The report hailed this friendly
communication of a communion so closely
related in its articles of doctrines and its
forms of worship to the church represented
by this body. 1t also expressed deep
sense of evils which mark the divisions
of the Christian church and a readiness
to enter into brotherly conference with
other bodies for the removal Of these evils,
but held that the restoration of organic
unity at the present period is neither de-
sirable or practicable.
The report was adopted.
A committee of three clergymen and
three laymen was appointed to hold further
conference with the committee of the
Protestant Episcopal Church touching the
vital question of mutual recognition and
cooperation, and this committee was in
structed to maintain the position that true
Christian unity must arise out Of a
common faith and to offer as
as sufficient basis for this and the Augs-
burg confession, the historic basis of Prot
estantiSm and by common consent the
most catholic expression of the common
faith. The next convention will convene
on the Wednesday after Whit Sunday in
1889. The Synod meets on Monday next
for the last time.

kidnappers Hold Woman Captive to
Slowly Extort $4,000.
YAsSAR, Ill, June IA remarkable
case of kidnapping and robbery, in which
q Tuscola county woman is the victim, has
Just been made public here. Last fall
Mrs. Albert Brooks, OF Juniata, Tascol a
county, went TO Denver to take possession
OF $50, 900 in cash and real estate LETT her,
she said, by an uncle Sh. reached Den
Yer safely, received the money and made
arrangements for the management of the
property. Since that time nothing has
been heard of the woman, and several
weeks ago Mr.. Brooks went West to I'M
rayel the mystery, ifpOsSible. He has re-
turned and reports that no clue was found
to the missing woman and that he had
placed the matter in the hands of detec-
tives. A sister of Mrs. Brooks. who also
received $50, 900 from the uncle, has put
SlO,QOO in the hands of Denver officers to
be used in finding her sister
Since Mr.. Brooks returned home he has

for mailing. The letter is a plea for help.
1t says that Mrs. Brooks is held captive
by gang of men who have already secur-
ed $50, 900 of her money and are determin-
ed TO have it all. The woman's captors
tortured her in every imaginable way.
She does not say where her place of con-
tnement is.
Last week a Denver detective at work
upon the case wired Mr.. Brooks that he
had discovered the building in which Mrs.
Brooks is imprisoned, but had not been
able to communicate with her. To add to
the mystery, T. North, Yassar banker,
recently received package Of letters writ
ten by Tuscola county people to Mrs.
Brooks, but no reason is given for sending
them. Mr.. Brooks is a poor man and he
has expended largely of his meagre means
to discover the whereabouts of his wife and
explain the mystery.
